This is what a cenote looks like from the outside, the surface. / La vista del cenote afuera del agua.

This is freshwater scuba diving at its best. I can’t explain how awesome this diving is but just to show the pictures and even then, the photos just don’t do any justice. You have to be there to see it and believe it! You have to hire a guide to go out on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico as there are thousands of these cenotes but you might not know where and how to dive it. A cenote which is basically an underwater cavern which flows in and out of freshwater and out to the ocean. The one I went to was called Chac Mool. The entrances to the the cenotes are generally owned by private landowners, the majority of whom are Mayan descendants who make some earning from entrance fees. But like I said, hire a guide so you don’t get into trouble because people have gotten lost in the dark and died due to the inability to get out.
